Archive for the ‘ prices of gas ’ Category

My boyfriend and I live together, both of our names are on the lease. We each of have a child that lives with us, one girl that is mine and one girl is his. We each earn our own money and we split everything down the middle, bills, gas, groceries, etc. But we will not file taxes together cause we are not married. Can we both claim head of household on our income taxes? We both have dependents and we each pay half of the living expenses. I checked with a tax calculator and it does make a big difference in our taxes.

If you split everything down the middle, neither one of you is HOH.

While there are a few tax court cases where multiple families were successfully able to claim more than one HOH for an address, the families were also able to demonstrate that each family lived separately. If you and your boyfriend share a bedroom, this will never fly.

You cannot share bedrooms; you cannot share meals; you have to be able to show that it made financial sense to have one address rather than 2, etc.

 

If this can be done, please give me some guidelines on how to use the calculator this way.

if this can be done,

I am a full-time student at an accredited College. I'm also a Licensed Minister in the Church. I have 90% of my church and school related reciepts, including gas, meals, and a $130 calculator. I still live in my parents house, although they do not support me financially. I have been told, as a student I can get all my state and fed back…but I don't know…I need all i can get though. please help

You do not get any special tax breaks as a student except that you may qualify for the Hope or Lifetime earning credit if you have enough income to generate a tax liability. If you are receiving compensation for ministerial services you should qualify for a parsonage allowance exclusion. A minister's housing allowance is not subject to income tax but is subject to Self-employment tax unless you have opted out.

Ok, here is the problem
Louella runs a messenger service and must keep track of the gas mileage of each car. When she filled the gas tank of one car, she used a calculator to find the gas mileage. The calculator display read “23.355178″.

Which of the numbers most closely represents the gas mileage in miles per gallon.

A- 2.335*10 squared
B- 24/3
C- 23 1/3
D- 2335/1000

Plz show your work

A) 2.335 x 10² = 233.5

B) 24/3 = 8

C) 23 1/3 = 23.333333333333

D) 2335/1000 = 2.335

So C is the closest to “23.355178″ ^^
